Too hot to stay put in the sun gardening...
Much progress, the wings will be epoxied together soon.
It is simpler, I found, to do the sheeting after joining the wings. 
That is another difference from the plans and instructions.
It is starting to look like a plane 

MAAC is offering a new program called the Off-Site Flyers Program (OFP) for RPAS and mRPAS.

You can register for this program here: MAAC Off-Site Flyers Program

This program allows MAAC members, once approved, to fly at locations that do not have a MAAC SOC.  For example, your cottage.

The OFP Document can be found at the link above as well as the Safety Document that governs your flying.

The OFP has nothing, at all, do to with TEMAC.  If you are approved for the OFP and fly at a site then that flight is between you and MAAC and TC.

While you are flying at TEMAC, the OFP has nothing to do with your flying.  TEMAC, MAAC, and TC rules continue to be the only rules applicable at TEMAC.

The OFP program does provide MAAC insurance but in a very specific way so make sure you read and understand the OFP Document carefully.  E.g. If you want to fly at a site under the OFP and the landowner requests proof of insurance then that site cannot be used for the OFP.  You would then need to apply for an SOC for that site.

The OFP is free for this year and has a cost of $50 starting in 2026.

Please post any questions you may have regarding the OFP and I'll try to get answers for you.

There will be some work done at TEMAC on Tuesday July 8, 2025 at 10am.  I don't think this will impact any flying.

There is a small patch of ground (the old RC car track) to the southwest of our field, in line with the pits and bordered by the parking area.  This patch is weedy and uneven.  We'd taken steps to remove the weeds last year but the ground was too uneven to mow.  On Tuesday we're going to attempt to level this patch so it can be seeded and cut.

Also, the driveway may be levelled to some degree.

Thanks, David.

Nice shot of Dave's launch !

Great day with about a dozen members flying.
Light wind, lots of sunshine, lots of flying.

Friday photo report:
19- Michael's jets.
21- David straightening the scarf on the pilot.
22- Michael Albatross
26- Michael and David hand-launching their jets.
28- David off to the races.  Notice the altitude it has gained in about 2 feet of forward flight.

According to the instructions, the battery tray may be installed forward or rearward of where indicated, in order to achieve proper balance with a battery pack. It looks like I'll have to move the tray forward by a few inches.

Other than that, basic assembly/construction is finished. Wiring, radio, stabilization, etc. installation, fine-tuning and programming is next, and maybe a bit of decoration before a maiden flight.

The detail & precision is amazing

FMS 70mm fand installed; proper rotation (wiring) tested prior. Again, precise fit.

Wings assembled. Everything, including servo installation and linkages are exact/precise fits.

Weird evening.  It always threatened to rain but never did.  Ten raindrops.  I checked at home- at Yonge and Eglinton it poured buckets for about 10 minutes at 5 pm.  Nothing at Rogo Field.
Thanks to Paul and Mark for continuing to tear out their hair out to get Spektrum transmitters to talk to each other.

Photo report:
04- New member Nick passed his check flight and is now a full flying member.
06- How many people does it take to screw in a wing on an AeroScout?
08- New member Kirk had 3 or 4 more flights today.  He is doing well.
11- New member Alex got in a few flights on the Club's AeroScout.  This model was generously donated by ex-member Alan Lofft who moved from his apartment into a retirement home on July 1.  He had to get rid of his model collection and donated everything to the training program.
12- Paul discussing with Mark on how to get Spektrum transmitters to talk to each other.  Conclusion- they don't and never will.  Thanks for the effort.
13- returning member Massoud dropped by.  He did not fly last year.

Also, thanks to Instructor George for his help tonight.
